State Com merce.
New YORK, January l5.-The Times
in an editorial on the passage of the In.
ter.State Commerce bill says: The effect
of this act, ii enforced according to its
intent and spirit by a competent com.
mission. will put an end to the discrimi.
nations and arbitrary power of great
corporations to control the development
and course of traffic with reference sole
ly to what the managers conceive to be
their corporate interests 1t will estab-
lish clear distinction between through
traffic and local traffic, based upon the
difference in circumstances and condi-
tions under which they are carried on
without injuriously disturbing the rsla.
tions between the two. II will have the
effect of compelling the establishment of
uniform and stable rates by compelling
lines without the necessity of pooling
their freights or agreeing to division of
their earnings according to certain ratios.
If it is accepted by railway mpanies in
good faith and an effort is made to ad.
just business to its requirements it
will be found that these results can be
attained without difficulty, without dis
aster to the railroads and without in.
Jury to the business interests of the
country.
The Tribune says: The debate on the
Commerce bill ended late last
night in the passage of the measure by a
vote of 43 to Is. The size of the ma.
jority will surprise most people. From
the Tribunes point of view the success
of this bill is to be regretted. In our
Judgment it is not a wise measure, and
we believe it will disappoint the people
who supported it. 1t will probably cause
less harm than its enc mics expected, and
it will certainly do less to carry out the
wishes of its projectors than they antic
pated.
